Would having a PhD be a disadvantage for being a pilot?
I have just started a Phd in Aerospace Engineering (about a month ago) and I plan to train as a commercial pilot. The PhD scholarship was too good to turn down so I took it. I am starting to worry now whether obtaining a PhD, although an admirable achievement, may make me over-qualified or airlines believing that I would be a "know-it-all". Could anyone shed some light?
Thanks in advance.
